Fall 2023 - The class is graded just by HW and attendance (no tests). The HW was often more difficult than what we did in lecture and was very time consuming. You also cannot ask him or anyone questions about the HW (if you consult other people it's cheating). At the end of the quarter the class got curved down which I found to be discouraging. In order to end up with an A you had to finish with a 98.5% in the class, and you had to have at least a 95.5% in the class for an A-. *Lecture is recorded. *You cannot use a MacBook for this class because excel on the MacBook doesn't have all the features required for the HW.
